Trying to guess could lead to overcharging or undercharging the system, both of which can damage the compressor and other components.
To find the correct amount:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It might specify the refrigerant charge.
2. Check a repair manual specific to your 1993 Chevy Suburban: Repair manuals (like Haynes or Chilton) often provide this information.
3. Consult a qualified automotive technician: An AC specialist can properly diagnose your system and add the correct amount of refrigerant. They'll also check for leaks and other issues. This is the safest and most reliable method.
Do not attempt to add refrigerant yourself without the proper equipment and knowledge. Improper handling of refrigerants can be dangerous.
